Guest greysonly Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Sending prayers your way. My Vinnie was only 4 when he was diagnosed with it. I know what you are going through. Unfortunately a lot of us on here know what you are going through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Prayers coming in your direction. All I can say is that there have been several tripods that have lived years after diagnosis. Whether you go that route or not is totally up to you. I wish you the best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tennesseegrey Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 My Rosie was recently diagnosed with Ostosarcoma as well. The bone biopsy confirmed it and it was devastating at the time. 1 week after her first chemo treatment (which she tolerated very well) she was climbing the stairs in my home and broke her leg. I knew what I had to do and had it amputated the next business day. She's been without her leg for 3 weeks and is doing great!! She's had her second round of chemo and is already running in my back yard and begs to go for walks, which are brief. Her chest is clear of tumors and I'm praying for lots more time to spend with her. But regardless of the time remaining, I wouldn't change a thing. The first week post amputation was the toughest with her depression and adjustment, but after 1 week, she was wagging her tail again. They really don't miss that leg at all, should you decide to amputate. My prayers are with you and Odie. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmdsmoxie Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Just remember that greys do very well as . They even do well as . Dogs live in the present. They don't dwell on the past and don't think about the future. As you can see in the videos, they don't see missing a leg, or two, as a handicap, only we do. They play the hand that's dealt them way better than humans do. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cruz Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi-- This is my first posting on here. I just joined after hearing about it from a friend. I hate to start my first day off with such gloom news.. I adopted "Odie" last Christmas. Odie raced about 38 races and then went to the adoption agency which he stayed for quite awhile (sadly)... I cannot understand why noone had adopted him before me. I always say he was waiting for me.. Well anyways life with Odie is greyt. He was very shy when I got him and I was worried he would not bond with me. I couldn't have been more wrong. He has bonded with me very well and is the sweetest soul in a dog I have ever seen. I love him dearly. Odie is only 4... He has been limping for over 2 weeks now. I took him to his normal vet and they could not see anything physically wrong and sent us home with pain pill for him and strict instructions for couch rest for a week. Now that was not easy!!!! Well he is still limping. So I decided to take him to a different vet after a recommendation from Odie's kennel keeper at the Adoption agency to a doctor that is very well education in the breed. He pinpointed Odie exact spot of pain within 7 minutes of meeting us. Unfortuntely he thinks Odie has bone cancer. I feel devastated!!! I take him back tomorrow so they can do a full x-ray of his leg. I am praying for good news. Does anyone know the percentage of Greys that get bone cancer?? And at such a young age?? Does anyone know the success rate?? Please say a prayer for my guy. I hope next time I log on I have better news to report.... Odie's Mom When I got my first Grey I was told that there were no illnesses that were common in greyhounds, but Osteo has reared its ugly head far more than I care to think in people's hounds that I know...Odie's so young and it's just not fair, just DON'T give up your hope until you know for sure. ) Hugs & prayers sent your way...be strong, Odie!
